the security council, you have a realignment between china and north korea. you have the same strengthening of alliance and the trilateral cooperation, us, south korea, japan, even in inter-korean relations. north korea has recently that they are abandoning their long standing policy of peaceful unification with south korea. not only that, south korea's that they have dismantled agencies that deal with the kaesong industrial complex, which like the in the inter-korean industrial complex, they've also subsumed their korean peninsula peace bureau in their foreign ministry under a broader diplomatic strategy bureau. so they're also mirroring north korean actions. so they're now essentially. expressing very hostile efforts at reunification. so it's a very. threatening period right now. and so that's why the lessons from the cold war are the lessons of the korean war are very pertinent today. hi, my name is laura wood and. i'm a professor emeritus and an to you my is a little bit thinking compared heavily so i used to study east germany and some of the similarities

by going to north korea for manpower, who initialing the world another clear sign of weakness. the kremlin's north korean gambit underscores how badly putin's war has gone, and how much trouble he is in. this is a first time in more than a a century that russia s welcomed foreign troops onto its own sure. secretary blinken noted a permanent member of the u.n. security council is violating security council resolutions that it agreed to two. so at the direction of the president, the trend will continue to surge security assistance to ukraine, so will allies and partners in the ukraine defense contact group. that includes artillery and air defense, armored vehicles, munitions and other crucial capabilities. united states will announce additional security assistance for ukraine in the coming days. and at our meetings yesterday and today we discussed with our rok allies how we're going to work together with our allies and partners to respond to this dangerous and destabilizing escalation. we are closely tracking other bullying by the dprk, russia, and the peoples republic of china. t

and then if north korea now, since the pots of its special troops to rush out and potentially a fighting and ukraine, they will get experience on the battlefield. and that is very concerning, of course, for south korea because north korea open anything, it is preparing for conflict also with the south. so it is really a very tense situation and they go over to you what, what did the potential deployment of north korean troops in ukraine mean for the situation on the front line? would it make a difference? a look, i think somebody you granting point of view, the massage, and the munition that north korea has already sent. russia is a very big deal. some people are saying that even more important than boots on the ground by some estimates the up to half of the shells used by russia come from those create this huge supply weapons going back. but suddenly we are seeing that russia is running out of soldiers. that is having more trouble recruiting people having to pay bigger premiums get people sign up and even having to consider according people up in russia rather than just getting voluntee

the question is what has russia promised north korea in return? tionship as far as kim jong—un concerned and i'm sure he has asked for something in return, and that is a big mystery, certainly something south korea is concerned about if it helps to strengthen kimjong—un�*s strengthen kim jong—un�*s nuclear programme or strengthen kimjong—un�*s nuclear programme or military capability. nuclear programme or military ca abili . nuclear programme or military capability-— capability. lloyd austin described _ capability. lloyd austin described the - capability. lloyd austin described the alliance l capability. lloyd austin | described the alliance is capability. lloyd austin - described the alliance is being very bad and has warned north korean troops would become a legitimate target if they fight in ukraine. what is the risk as you see it?— you see it? beyond the battlefield, _ you see it? beyond the battlefield, one - you see it? beyond the battlefield, one of- you see it? beyond the battlefield, one of the | you see it? beyond the - battlefield, one o

yeah, i mean we don't know the reason north korea is i know the reason north korea is sending the troopsghting. the us government statements have confirmed the north koreans were there. but obviously, the fact russia has turned to north korea, you know, it could possibly show its desperation on the russian part in the war in ukraine. fact the matter is north korea also is in need of foreign currency. —— the fact of the matter is. reports we have received over the past year, it seesit received over the past year, it sees it as a moneymaking opportunity. the significance of the troop deployment could just be symbolic. just of the troop deployment could just be symbolic.— just be symbolic. just talk us throu~h just be symbolic. just talk us through again _ just be symbolic. just talk us through again the _ just be symbolic. just talk us| through again the importance just be symbolic. just talk us . through again the importance to north korea, what north korea is getting from this relationship with russia. irate relationship with russia. we know north _ relationship with russia. - know north

escalation between south and north korea a spell? i personally think that there wouldn't be a direct escalation due to the deployment. of course, there are a lot of a weapons in north cree happen saying they can direct ed, south korea. and they have been defining south korea the, a separate state and an enemy rather than the competitor yacht. and they have been showing a lot of symbolic move. the attention has been already quite high. but as much as towards korea, it's getting more a paying more attention to the ukraine situation with their soldiers. they're, they, i don't think they will have much appetite to buy both friends, especially when their assets and soldiers are there. but there is a possibility that it might escalate after you creating battlefield. because south korea is reportedly sending a monitoring team to create, to started the tactics that there are chron soldiers and potentially may be interrogating or print soldiers or potential defectors as well. and what's the sort of a hypothetical situations? there might be som

on north korea's icbm launch yesterday, we denounce this with one voice and urged north korea to abide by the u.n. security council resolutions. also, on the escalating north korean nuclear and missile threats, we agreed to continuously strengthen cooperation on deterrence and response. on north korea's deployment of troops to russia and illegal military cooperation with russia, we denounced this with strong words and strongly urged the immediate withdrawal of north korean troops. we have completed the joint guidelines in july, last july, uplifting the r.o.k.-u.s. alliance into a nuclear-based alliance in a name and substance. we reconfirmed our common goal of the complete denuclearization of north korea, and based of historic -- on distort joint guidelines, we continue to strengthen deterrence. the u.s. reconfirmed the strong commitment to 2 military capabilities to provide extensive deterrence to the republic of korea. we confirmed that the scope of the mutual defense treaty applies to space and cyber domains and agreed to strengthening cooperation in space and cyber domains. to resp

russia's strengthening relationship with north korea does just strengthening relationship with north relationship with north korea does just that on the other side. here we have south korea, which is farfrom impressed with north korean soldiers getting battlefield experience potentially, gaining intelligence on western weapons with two which sold for us will be used on itself. south korea is looking at what he can do it's considering sending lethal weapons to ukraine. a real policy reversal. and will the west have to calibrate around that? what we're hearing from the pentagon is there will be no new restrictions announced on missiles provided to ukraine and what hits inside russia, that includes potentially, hypothetically on north korean soldiers. the picture is building. the calls are billed to action or building. in terms of the battlefield itself i don't think we will see a step change in dynamics outside of what russia is doing. these are interesting geopolitical times as we approached the us presidential election. the bbc has been speaking with alexander vindman — restired unite

he explained a little more about what the motivations might be behind this latest move from north koreao threaten the west, particularly the united states with the possibility that north korean missile technology can defeat american defensive technology and reach the mainland. the issue about the 90 minute burn, the 90 minute flight time is important because if you take that high trajectory and flatten it out, that 90 minute burn means the missile could reach the united states territory on the west coast. we are talking west coast, not the likes of somewhere else, guam? we know that north korean missile technology can fly that far. the question is really not that, the question is how well can the technology evade american defences and the transfer of that technology from russia either directly to missile technology or to submarine technology which could get submarines with missiles closer to the american coast, that is what concerns the pentagon. i wanted to ask what you thought the pentagon was making of this. do you think this kind of missile test and 90 minutes would be something the

we've had reports for many months now of north korea's intensifying participation in this war. battlefield. western officials saying perhaps half of all artillery shells fired by russia are supplied by north korea. and now this information today from south korean intelligence that perhaps 1,500 special forces troops from north korea are being trained in russia, and they say 13,000 containers of arms have been shipped from pyongyang to russia to be used on the battlefield there since august 2023. now, that is a huge amount of arms — things like artillery shells, missiles, other munitions. and then, as you say, yesterday president zelensky said ukrainian intelligence understands there are 10,000 north korean troops that are being prepared to be sent to the battlefield and he said there are perhaps already some north korean officers in the occupied areas of ukraine and i think we can have a listen now to what president zelensky said. our intelligence, we've got information that north korea sent tactical personnel and officers to ukraine — temporarily occupied territories. and they

its relationship with north korea, so north korea is no longer isolated and nor should we consider it four causes that might make things dangerous. haw the four causes that might make things dangerous. how concerned are ou it things dangerous. how concerned are you it could _ things dangerous. how concerned are you it could escalate - are you it could escalate further? we know north korea often criticises the us and south korea for conducting joint military drills which they say is a pretext to invasion so does the us need to tread more carefully? i invasion so does the us need to tread more carefully?— tread more carefully? i think so. i tread more carefully? i think so- i think — tread more carefully? i think so. i think the _ tread more carefully? i think so. i think the situation - so. i think the situation is quite tense now. it�*s not as tense as the situation was in 2017 when you might remember president trump was going through a very angry period. the so—called pi and fury. i don�*t see immediate danger that north korea will become immediately aggressive but the situation is g

we had car and cease to north korea, but of course and um, rush, i could also supply and north korea was submitted through technology. and then if north korea now, since the pots of its special troops to rush out and potentially a fighting and ukraine, they will get experience on the battlefield. and that is very concerning of cost for south korea because northwest open anything, it is preparing for conflict also with the south of so it is really a very tense situation. i've been kind of an insult not to venezuelan opposition. leaders have one that use top human rights honor for the fight for democracy. european parliament has more of a soccer off prize to the venice when an opposition to the, to many, a clean and machado, and ally and window gonzales. order to you cause all this is why the believe to a one the presidential election in venezuela in july. but the national election board declared the incumbent because of the door to the window. and gonzalez went into exile inspect. there's not a reminder of our top story. it is an international, a conference for lab and on has raised a

thank ou for this war by north korea? thank you for having _ this war by north korea?a? thank you for having me. in _ this war by north korea? thank you for having me. in terms - this war by north korea? thank you for having me. in terms of| you for having me. in terms of the battle tactics, the actual combat power these 10,000 or so north koreans are going to provide the russians, not actually that significant. 10,000 forces is a very small number. the russians suffer about 30,000 troops killed or wounded every month, so this is one third of a month's worth of losses, if it is just this. the other thing is i am very sceptical about the north korean combat effectiveness. the north korean military hasn't actually had any real combat experience or real fought wars for over 50 years at this point, so what we are going to be seeing is north korean units deploying to the front lines to operate with russian units and in fact that might create some scenes were more experienced and on the whole but a cohesive russian units will be armed with the north koreans and that could cr

north korea now calls south korea. it's principle enemy, and it's, it's hard to back away from that. now theoretically an ideologically, that line about reunification pete, in a peaceful way as one people had been a strand through north korean thinking, an ideology for the past several decades but kim has jettisoned all of that to call south korea of its principal enemy and really amped up the hostile rhetoric against south korea. >> so i just want to be clear for all of us. so we have the russian war in ukraine. we have the middle eastern conflict going on. you have the growing tensions over taiwan. >> and now us policymakers have to worry about the possibility, the increased possibility of some possible conflict on the korean peninsula, right? north korea will take an opportunity where it can take any opportunity. and i think this this new cold war or whatever we want to call it in terms of how russia and china are cooperating and iran and north korea are finding scene in that geostrategic competition to find opportun

north korea today. a lot of people you know what happens of course, in the korean war is it has this sort of yo yo type course where north korea is initially very successful in invading south korea and korean forces occupy south korea for a period of time and that occupation is brutal and violent. but then after the inchon landing american forces occupy north korea with south korean forces. and during that period they basically try to completely overturn the north korean government and set up a new government. and so that period is also massively destructive, violent with you know, massacres occurring, civilian deaths, people looking for revenge because again, the civil the elements of the civil conflict are still ongoing throughout. the korean war period. so there's a lot of sort of sort of violence at the societal level that's occurring all through the korean war. but, you know, when you want to understand north korea today, you have this period in which american are occupying north korea and it china

we begin with news that washington has confirmed reports that north korea has sent military forces toussia. speaking on wednesday, defence secretary lloyd austin warned that if north korean troops join combat alongside russian soldiers, it would have a serious global impact. at a news conference in seoul, the south korean spy chief claimed around 3,000 north korean troops are currently receiving military training in russia ahead of their deployment to the front line. while russia and north korea deny the reports, the two nations have strengthened collaborations in recent years, and signed a major security agreement injune that commits both countries to provide military assistance if either is attacked. white house national security spokesmanjohn kirby has also been addressing the issue. i don't believe we have a very specific assessment at this time of the exact nature of all the training. there's three sites that we assess right now, this first tranche of about 3000 are being trained. i think i could go so far as to say, at least in general terms, it's basic kind of combat training.

proxy war because they also reported south korea is considering sending more weapons and as we see north korea and south korea getting involved in the rest of your greenwood to the degree, it's a proxy words on mr. prove, i mean he's the one that's reaching out to a ron for drones and ballistic missiles, reaching out to north korea for artillery shells, ballistic missiles, and now soldiers. i mean, he's farming out the fighting to a for an army. so did this to the degree, this is somehow a proxy war. it's on mister booth. you were talking to partners. have you spoken to ukraine because their reports that ukraine has already said that the military units that happened that have left the places in eastern rush and have already crossed into the, into the zone of war zone? yes, of course we're talking to our ukrainian counterparts and we're trying to glean their perspectives, matching it up with our own intelligence assessments. but yes, we are in conversations them as a, as i said, also in conversations with other allies and partners about what they're seeing as well. with us this number come from

the body had been expected to change the constitution to declare south korea the north principal enemy and. and the formal goal of korean re unification fund closed without doing so. and i'm drawing now from south korea by journalists. i'll be in touch my he's and so then finally and tell us more about what happened there, what has north korea actually done here? yet today, the north korean military send out a statement via the press a can see a case in a saying that they will start to completely and permanent. the cut off all the railway connections, all the road connections towards south korea. and that is a disability step, as you mentioned, but i think it is more than a symbolic step because at the south korean military has observed recently in the last months that um, so just with the probably to the border area and they have increasing be implemented to land mines more than $10000.00 offline mine. so that is quite a landing and we have to see that in a broader context. now basically north korea's 4th of finding the boat again. and this comes at a time when comes on in the north k

and not very happy about north korea playing their usual game because north korea have tried with auccess to play russians against the chinese and the chinese against the russians, so china is not happy, but let's not forget, at the end of the day, both countries are much dependent on china and if china really doesn't like it, it can stop it at any moment. so, obviously, it is still within the limits of what china can accept and tolerate. ., ~ , ., of what china can accept and tolerate. ., ~' , ., ., of what china can accept and tolerate. ., ~ , ., ., ., tolerate. thank you for “oining us. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. you're live with bbc news. a vietnamese people smuggler, who entered the uk illegally this year in a small boat, has told the bbc that he's forging visa documents for other vietnamese who also want to make the journey. he's claiming asylum — despite admitting he's been people—smuggling for nearly 20 years. nearly 30,000 people have made the illegal journey across the english channel so far this year — the majority are from vietnam. after a mont

north korea is looking for in return, what is it mean for the threat posed by north korea to south korea the u.s. >> i think north koreans are looking for increased support for the russians that's important for north korea given the isolation if you will i think the north koreans are looking as an opportunity to increase operational experience and capability of their military which of your south korea of the united states are very concerned it's not a positive element and you can transfer the imagination and ukraine's ability to defend itself tougher as the russians gain more military capacity through what they're getting through the north koreans. jack: we see rising cooperation between russia and north korea but in iran and china, those are for countries that would love to see america's status diminished. what we do about that, are we doing enough? >> were going to need to highlight the activity that we see of concern and we will need to bring more pressure to bear on the four nations in that pressure needs to come not just from the united states but a broader set of nations to include

in other words, what is north korea? and getting in exchange for sending its own troops to russia, perhaps to fight on behalf of russia. and that's a key question here. the answer may be that north korea is looking to develop its own nuclear and satellite capabilities. and those are two areas where russia could certainly help them and that would be very dangerous. indeed, if that's what russia is providing an exchange for north korean bodies alright, oren liebermann live for us from the pentagon. >> thank you. and let's talk about this more with cnn military analysts some retired us air force colonel cedric leighton colonel, what does this tell you about russia's current status in its war on ukraine? >> so brianna, if we think that the north koreans are actually going to serve on the front lines against ukraine. then it most clearly means that there are some very significant personnel shortages in on the russian side. it also means that perhaps the north koreans are getting some combat training potentially from the opera

does this represent a new agreement between north korea and russia?i don't believe we have a very specific assessment at this time of the exact nature of all the training. there's three sites that we assess right now that this first are being trained. i can go so far to say in general terms it's basic combat training and familiarization. we'll monitor this and watch it closely. if we have more information we can share with you, with will. concerning your question about this relationship, we've been watching it grow for many months. the question we're asking ourselves, and we don't have an answer for, what does kim jong-un think he's getting out of this. you talked about information sharing, maybe that's part of it. maybe it's technology, maybe it's capabilities. we don't have a good sense on that. not only the impact on the war in ukraine but the impact in the situation in the indo-pacific. >> reporter: how significant is this for u.s. allies? >> it could be significant. we don't know enough. i think you mean in the indo-pacific. until we have a bette

, but if north korea still dares to send its military here - it it's a slightly different story,e understand that the western partners also help us to repair the equipment and so on, but this does not mean that they somehow participate in this war. at least they try to articulate it publicly in every possible way. what do you think, first of all, can north korea do this, and if they do, what should be the world's reaction to it? a week ago, or less, even, our general staff announced the destruction of a group of north korean officers in the donetsk direction, who were, let's say, serving the military reception of the north koreans. supplies and weapons that are coming to the russian army, is there any reaction from north korea to this? their shaheeds are our atacoms and our drones, that is, their... military, it doesn't matter, there, for example, for iran queer, whether it is the armed forces of iran, it's all the army, the military, the iranian military, the same applies to the north korean military, which are on the territory of ukraine, well, actually speaking, it does not ch

secretary of defense lloyd austin confirms reports north korea sent military forces to russia. ednesday secretary austin warned if north korean troops join combat with russian soldiers it will have serious global impact. at a news conference the south korean spy chief claimed 3000 north korean troops are receiving military training in russia ahead of their deployment to the front lines while russia and north korea denied reports, they have strengthened collaborations in recent years and signed a major security agreement in june that commits both countries to provide military assistance if either is attacked. on the u.s. house intelligence committee, he shared how significant an escalation this is. congressman, great to have you with us. what do we know about where these north korean troops are and where they are heading? >> we know they are near the far eastern coast of russia and of come from north korea, there are thousands of them and although the pentagon will not confirm, that they are on their way to ukraine, it is a very high probability at this point. sumi: we saw lloyd

maybe someone was able to show you the reaction on your announcement on north korea? it was explosive. i don't know what kind of explosion happened there. as long as the shards aren't thrown too far and the dust settles after that explosion, we're in contact with our north korean friends. and when we have to decide something, we will undoubtedly decide. our friends from north korea have the same point of view, but i want to say that it is our sovereign decision whether we apply something or not. where and how, whether we need it, or maybe we only conduct some kind of drills, training, sharing experience. it's our business. the evidence for a north korean presence in the region is mounting. this video been verified by the bbc shows north korean troops in a training ground in the russian far east. last week south korea's spy agency said around 1,500 north korean special forces troops had arrived in russia. according to the white house the us, japan and south korea are all concerned about the situation. here's what japan's top government spokesperson had to say. the japan
